Six year old American Standard 3 ton unit. Ceiling horizontal mounted in the basement. Gravity condensate drain through the wall to outdoors.
Last summer the water started getting into the blower section and dripping on the floor. Water was running out of the drain. I rigged up a hose and ran water through the drain but no help.
S.J. Johnson Inc. who I bought the unit from in 2010 and had been servicing it, told me they are no longer in the business.
I had a local service guy look at it. He checked the innards and said there was no rust holes in the drip pan and everything looked good. He blew on the drain pipe (with his mouth) and said it felt like something blew out. He then decided to increase the blower speed.
No help, I spent the rest of last summer emptying water buckets.
Before I turned the A/C on yesterday for the first time this year, I cut off the drain pipe. I now have a 4 inch stub of pipe coming out of the trap.
Looks like I still have the problem. This morning I put a tall trash can under the pipe in place of the bucket incase it is the splatter from the 6 foot drop from the pipe I am seeing. The A/C is not running today, but I think I am just wishful thinking here now.
I have heard Boothe's advertisements and am thinking about calling them. Anyone have experience with them. Do you think they have anyone smart enough to figure this out?
